Patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy and dependency in activities of daily living during hospitalization-descriptive and correlational study.

Background and Aim: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) causes progressive spinal cord compression and consequent functional decline. Surgical decompression is considered effective in halting disease progression, producing improvements in neurological prognosis. During hospitalization, several conditions may alter these patients' dependency levels. This study aimed to describe patients with CSM and their evolution regarding dependence in activities of daily living (ADL), from hospital admission to discharge. Methods and Materials: Descriptive and correlational study based on document analysis. Results: Included 96 files of patients with CSM who were admitted to Neurosurgery Department. The sample was 58.3% men, with a mean age of 64.4 years. Of the participants, 96.9% had surgery, mainly an anterior cervical approach. Hygiene was the ADL involving most dependence, both at admission (39.6%) and at discharge (71.9%). Worsening of dependence levels in ADLs was found at the midterm evaluation (mean 13.34; SD 5.59) and at discharge (mean 11.59; SD 5.28) in relation to the functional condition at admission (mean 9.77; SD 6.06). Gender was not associated with any differences, but age and days of hospitalization were associated with variations in participants' dependency levels (P<.05). Conclusion: The level of dependence on ADLs increased during the hospitalization of patients with CSM.

Physical Activity during Pregnancy and Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-Review.

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, pregnant women require more individualized attention in their assistance process during pregnancy. One of the aspects that requires the most focus is the suitability of carrying out physical activity. The objective of this meta-review is to find out the effects of physical activity during pregnancy on the incidence of GDM compared to women who do not perform physical activity. METHODS: A search was conducted in Cochrane, CSIC, Ebscohost, Proquest, Pubmed, Scielo, and Scopus. The search focused on systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in the last five years. The AMSTAR-2 scale was used as a quality assessment tool for the final sample. RESULTS: A total of 18 systematic reviews and meta-analyses were included. Sixteen of them found out that physical activity during pregnancy has preventive effects for GDM compared with women who lacked physical activity. Among the studies, we found a reduction in the risk of GDM of between 24% and 38% and odds ratios ranging between 0.39 and 0.83 calculated for a 95% CI. Only two studies did not find statistically significant effects. Other variables such as type and duration of physical activity, overweight and obesity, gestational age, etc., were also considered. CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity prevents the incidence of GDM. The main characteristics that enhance this preventive effect are starting at the initial stages of pregnancy and maintaining during the whole pregnancy as well as combining strength and aerobic exercise at a low to moderate intensity.

Development and Validation of the Serious Educational Game in Nursing Appraisal Scale.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to develop and validate the Serious Educational Game in Nursing Appraisal Scale (SEGiNAS), a tool designed to evaluate the implementation of serious games within nurse education contexts of quantity of process, quality of process, and learning outcomes. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This methodological and psychometric study aimed to develop and validate a scale. The item generation phase was based on the cognitive theory of multimedia learning, resulting in a 20-item scale. The validation phase involved evaluating the psychometric scale by surveying 160 Portuguese nurses. RESULTS: A factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure corresponding to the scale's designed dimensions, explaining a total variance of 64.5%. The scale demonstrated high internal consistency for all factors, including engagement and teaching effectiveness (0.925), learning impact and practical application (0.883), and content relevance and clarity (0.848). The dimensions were engagement and teaching effectiveness, learning impact and practical application, and content relevance and clarity. CONCLUSIONS: The SEGiNAS scale represents a valid and reliable tool for evaluating serious games in nursing education. Its development fills an existing gap in assessing the teaching-learning process with serious games. This study was not registered.

Environmental health practice and quality of Nursing care: a protocol for systematic review

OBJECTIVE: To systematically synthesize studies that analyze the relationship between a healthy practice environment and quality of nursing care in hospital settings; to identify the most commonly used instruments to assess nurses' perceptions of a healthy practice environment; to identify the most commonly used instruments to assess nurses' perceptions of quality of nursing care. METHOD: A systematic literature review will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The literature search will be conducted in the principal databases. Review of international scientific articles published in the last ten years, accessed through the database of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar (ICBAS), University of Porto, on nurses' perceptions of the influence of the environment on healthy nursing practice and quality of care. Inclusion: Articles published after 2012 in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. The identified, selected and included studies will be highlighted for the selection process using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P). If possible, quantitative data will be pooled into a meta-analysis using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (MASTARI).

Healthcare Experience of People with Acute Spinal Cord Injury: A Phenomenological Study.

Living with spinal cord injury (SCI) is a challenge that begins in the acute phase, when the disease, the limitations, and the treatments fill the days at the hospital. This study aims to understand the healthcare experience of the person with SCI in the acute phase, based on the Activities of Living Nursing Model (ALNM). It is a qualitative and phenomenological study based on the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was performed using the ATLAS.ti software and Bardin's methodology. The article was written following the COREQ guidelines. The categories were defined using the Roper-Logan-Tierney Model for Nursing. The sample included 16 people with incomplete SCI, different etiology, and neurological levels. Eleven of the twelve ALNM emerged from the interviews. The activities of mobilizing, eliminating, maintaining a safe environment, and communicating were emphasized the most. Controlling body temperature was not relevant. Mobility deficits and pain increased dependence. Feelings of motivation, encouragement, and frustration were highlighted. Professional expertise, rehabilitation resources, and support equipment promoted independence. The results in this sample revealed that people with SCI in the acute phase have complex challenges related to dependence awareness and treatments, but they always keep recovery expectations in mind.

Interdisciplinary health consultations for older people in Portugal: primary care and hospitals.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the perspective of doctors, nurses, and social workers about practices for older people health in primary care and in hospitals; to create guidelines for the practice of interdisciplinary consultations. METHOD: Cross-sectional study involving 291 professionals from public institutions in the northern region of Portugal. Data were collected between May/2018 and March/2019, using a questionnaire which was then subjected to descriptive and analytical statistical analysis. RESULTS: The usefulness of scales for elderly people showed no differences between hospital and primary care. Hospital professionals collected the following data: eyesight/hearing; medication; direct contact or contact by writing between professionals; daily team meetings; need to share information among colleagues. Primary care professionals, in turn, valued: weight/height, swallowing; the need for home visits; direct contact or via e-mail between professionals; weekly team meetings. CONCLUSION: The practices of the professionals suggested an intervention model with common aspects in both groups, but with specificities for both primary and hospital care.

Relationship Between Depression and Falls Among Nursing Home Residents: Protocol for an Integrative Review.

BACKGROUND: Aging exposes individuals to new health disorders and debilitating chronic diseases, yet most older adults, even in functional decline, do not want to leave their homes. Nevertheless, for many, institutionalization in a nursing home (NH) may become essential to ensure their continued safety and health. Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders among older adults, especially among those who are institutionalized. Depressed NH residents face a high risk of future functional decline and falls, decreasing their quality of life. The relationship between depression and falls is complex and bidirectional. Previous reviews have focused on home-dwelling older adults or explored the relationship between antidepressant drugs and falls. To the best of our knowledge, no integrative literature reviews have explored the relationship between depression and falls among NH residents. OBJECTIVE: Analyze studies on the relationship between depression and falls among NH residents. METHODS: We will conduct an integrative literature review of published articles in relevant scientific journals on the relationship between depression and depressive symptomatology and falls among NH residents. As usually defined, we will consider NH residents to be people aged 65 years and older who can no longer live safely and independently in their homes. We will also consider older adults on short-term stays in an NH for rehabilitation after hospital discharge. Retrieved articles will be screened for eligibility and analyzed following previously reported steps. The most pertinent bibliographical databases will be examined for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies, from inception until August 31, 2023, thus ensuring that all relevant literature is included. We will also hand-search the bibliographies of all the relevant articles found and search for unpublished studies in any language. If appropriate, we will consider conducting a meta-analysis of the studies retrieved. RESULTS: A first round of data collection was completed in March 2023. We retrieved a total of 2276 references. A supplementary literature search to ensure the most up-to-date evidence is ongoing. We anticipate that the review will be completed in late September 2023, and we expect to publish results at the end of December 2023. CONCLUSIONS: This integrative review will increase knowledge and understanding of the complex relationship between depression and falls in NH environments. Its findings will be important for developing integrated, multidisciplinary models and care recommendations, adaptable to each NH resident's situation and health status, and for creating preventive interventions to help them maintain or recover optimal health stability.

Interventions for Caregivers of Heart Disease Patients in Rehabilitation: Scoping Review.

Map the interventions/components directed to the caregivers of heart disease patients in cardiac rehabilitation programs that promote their role and health. METHODS: The Joanna Briggs Institute method was used to guide this scoping review. Two independent reviewers assessed articles for relevance and extracted and synthesized data. Inclusion criteria comprised articles published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese since 1950. The following databases were searched: CINAHL Complete (Via EBSCO), Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, PEDro, and Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP). RESULTS: From 351 articles retrieved, 10 were included in the review. The interventions identified directed to the caregiver were: educational interventions and lifestyle changes; physical exercise; psychological interventions/stress management; and a category "Other" with training interventions in basic life support, elaboration of guidelines/recommendations, and training for the role of caregiver. CONCLUSIONS: It was found that most of the related cardiac rehabilitation interventions are aimed at the dyad heart failure patient and their caregivers/family. Including specific interventions targeting caregivers improves the caregiver's health and empowers them. Patient care planning should include interventions specifically aimed at them that result in health gains for caregivers and patients, striving to improve the quality of care.

The Family's Contribution to Patient Safety.

BACKGROUND: Person- and family-centered care is one of the recommendations to achieve quality of care and patient safety. However, many health professionals associate the family with insecurity in care. OBJECTIVE: To analyze, based on nurses' statements, the advantages and disadvantages of the family's presence in hospitals for the safety of hospitalized patients. METHODS: This was a qualitative interpretative study based on James Reason's risk model, conducted through semi-structured interviews with 10 nurses selected by convenience. A content analysis was performed using Bardin's methodology and MAXQDA Plus 2022 software. RESULTS: We identified 17 categories grouped according to the representation of the family in patient safety: The family as a Potentiator of Security Failures (7) and Family as a Safety Barrier (10). CONCLUSIONS: The higher number of categories identified under Family as a Safety Barrier shows that nurses see strong potential in the family's involvement in patient safety. By identifying the need to intervene with and for families so that their involvement is safe, we observed an increase in the complexity of nursing care, which suggests the need to improve nursing ratios, according to the participants.

Effect of the Active Aging-in-Place-Rehabilitation Nursing Program: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

(1) Background: It is of great importance to promote functional capacity and positive lifestyles, since they contribute to preventing the progression of frailty among the older adults. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of active aging-in-place−rehabilitation nursing program (AAP-RNP) on the functional capacity and lifestyles of frail older adults. (2) Methods: This was a single-blinded, two-group, randomized, controlled trial of 30 frail older people enrolled at a Health-care unit in Portugal between 2021 and 2022. The duration of the program was 12 weeks, and the sessions took place at the participants' homes. We used as instruments the Tilburg Frailty Indicator; Fried frailty phenotype; Senior Fitness Test battery; Barthel Index; Lawton Index; handgrip strength measurement; Tinetti Index; Individual lifestyle profile; and Borg's perception of effort. (3) Results: Post-program, there was an improvement in multidimensional and physical frailty, functional capacity, balance, and perceived exertion (p < 0.05) in the experimental group. Among the older adults' lifestyles, we observed significant improvements in physical activity habits, relational behavior, and stress management. (4) Conclusions: Rehabilitation nurses have a relevant role, and the AAP-RNP seems to be effective in improving functional capacity and lifestyles in frail older adults.

Challenges faced by nurse-managers at work in brazilian and portuguese hospitals: a mixed-methods study / Desafíos enfrentados por enfermeros gerentes en su trabajo en hospitales de brasil y portugal: estudio de métodos mixtos / Desafios de enfermeiros gestores no trabalho em hospitais brasileiros e portugueses: estudo de métodos mistos

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the challenges found in nurse-managers' work in the Brazilian and Portuguese hospital contexts. Method: a mixed-methods research study with a sequential explanatory approach, carried out between March 2019 and March 2020 with nurse-managers from four hospitals. The study was initiated with the quantitative stage, applying a survey to 143 participants and analyzing the data by means of analytical and inferential statistics. The qualitative stage was carried out with 71 of these participants using interviews, in order to understand the challenges inherent to this job, and the data were submitted to content analysis. Integration of the findings was performed through data connection. Results: in the quantitative stage, the results evidenced that the managerial activities carried out by nurses by scenario included planning, people management, management of care processes, management of materials, quality management and leadership, with higher mean values for the first four. The qualitative stage allowed deepening the previous findings, contrasting invisibility of the planning, confirming people management as the common challenge to the realities, explaining the mean values in the national and Portuguese scopes. Integration of the findings detailed the relevance of the conflicts and the deficit of professionals in people management and leadership. Conclusion: managing people, care processes and materials are challenges for nurses in hospital management in both countries. Nurses lack structural support and ongoing training for better management and improvement of planning and leadership.

O percurso construtivo do enfermeiro gestor: uma teoria fundamentada nos dados / The constructive path of the manager nurse: a grounded theory

RESUMO Objetivo compreender como os enfermeiros vivenciam o planejamento da sucessão na gestão. Métodos estudo qualitativo assente na teoria fundamentada nos dados como referencial teórico e metodológico, com uma amostra de 20 enfermeiros. A coleta dos dados foi efetuada por entrevista e análise de conteúdo, e do processo de codificação emergiu o modelo conceitual. Resultados verificou-se que o planejamento da sucessão é um processo implementado informalmente no diagnóstico dos enfermeiros gestores, mas persistem algumas lacunas na sistematização do processo. Os concursos, o perfil de liderança e a experiência assumem destaque no diagnóstico, e a experiência casual em gestão é relevante na preparação dos enfermeiros gestores. Apesar da sua necessidade, subsistem entraves como a resistência dos gestores, a rotatividade dos conselhos de administração hospitalares e a pandemia da COVID-19. Conclusão os enfermeiros destacam muitos benefícios com o planejamento da sucessão, mas identificam obstáculos à sua implementação, o que contribui para a relutância na participação ativa dos enfermeiros gestores. Contribuições para a prática o modelo conceitual teórico pode contribuir para a mudança e a estruturação sistemática do percurso construtivo dos enfermeiros gestores e permite identificar as condições promotoras e limitantes no diagnóstico, formação e desenvolvimento destes profissionais.

ABSTRACT Objective to understand how nurses experience the succession planning of manager nurses. Methods qualitative study using grounded theory as a theoretical and methodological reference, with a sample of 20 nurses. Data collection took place through interviews, content analysis, and the conceptual model originated from the coding process. Results the process of succession planning is informally implemented in the diagnosis of head nurses, but there are some gaps in the systematization of the process. The selection processes, the leadership profile, and experience stand out in the diagnosis, and a casual experience in management is relevant for the preparation of head nurses. Although this is necessary, there are still obstacles, such as the resistance of managers, the turnover of hospital administration councils, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion nurses interviewed highlighted many benefits from the planning of succession, but find obstacles to its implementation, which contributes to the reluctance of head nurses to actively participate. Contributions to practice the theoretical-conceptual model can contribute to change and systematically structure the constructive path of manager nurses, allowing the identification of conditions that promote or limit the diagnosis, education, and development of these professionals.

Interdisciplinary health consultations for older people in Portugal: primary care and hospitals / Consulta interdisciplinaria de salud para personas mayores en Portugal: atención primaria y hospitalaria / Consulta interdisciplinar de saúde para pessoas idosas em Portugal: atenção primária e hospital

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the perspective of doctors, nurses, and social workers about practices for older people health in primary care and in hospitals; to create guidelines for the practice of interdisciplinary consultations.

Resultados: A utilidade de escalas para pessoas idosas não mostrou diferenças entre hospital e atenção primária. Enquanto os profissionais do hospital coletaram os dados: visão/audição; medicação; contato direto entre profissionais ou por escrito; reuniões de equipe diárias; necessidade de partilhar informações entre colegas; os profissionais da atenção primária valorizaram: peso/altura, deglutição; necessidade de visita domiciliar; contato direto entre profissionais ou por e-mail; reuniões de equipe semanais. Conclusão: Práticas dos profissionais apontaram para um modelo de intervenção com aspectos comuns nos dois grupos, mas com especificidades para atenção primária e hospital.

Rehabilitation nursing: methodological construction / Modelo teórico para enfermería de rehabilitación: construcción metodológica / Modelo teórico de enfermagem de reabilitação: construção metodológica

ABSTRACT Objective: based on the concepts and assertions, to create a Rehabilitation Nursing theoretical model grounded on intersubjective recognition and focused on each person's good life and diversity. Method: this is a methodological study anchored in the Theory Construction grounds described by Walker and Avant for the synthesis of a theoretical Nursing model. The synthesis seeks to organize an arrangement of concepts and assertions that allow seeing the rehabilitation relationship between the people included in the model. Results: The theoretical model was focused on the interpersonal relationship between Person and Nurse, which generates the Rehabilitation and Recognition relationships that exert a positive influence on both and enables self-fulfillment, as well as autonomous and equal participation of the rehabilitating person, thus ensuring their social good life. Conclusion: the rehabilitating person's good life can be encouraged, or even ensured, in an intersubjective recognition relationship that takes place when both nurses and the people cared for understand each other in their differences, respecting, trusting and socially valuing each other, thus strengthening human autonomy, social freedom and dignity as a result of this rehabilitation.

RESUMEN Objetivo: a partir de los conceptos y las afirmaciones, construir un modelo teórico para Enfermería de rehabilitación sobre la base del reconocimiento intersubjetivo, enfocado en la buena vida de las personas en su diversidad. Método: estudio metodológico basado en la fundamentación de Construcción de Teorías descrita por Walker y Avant para realizar la síntesis de un modelo teórico de Enfermería. La síntesis pretende organizar diversos conceptos y afirmaciones que permiten visualizar la relación de rehabilitación entre las personas incluidas en el modelo. Resultados: el modelo teórico se centró en la relación interpersonal entre Persona atendida y Enfermero; dicha relación genera las vinculaciones de Rehabilitación y Reconocimiento que ejercen influencias positivas en ambos y hace posible la autorrealización y la participación autónoma e igualitaria de la persona en rehabilitación, garantizando así su buena vida social. Conclusión: la buena vida de una persona en rehabilitación puede incentivarse, o incluso garantizarse, en una relación intersubjetiva de reconocimiento que tiene lugar cuando tanto el enfermero como la persona atendida se comprenden en sus diferencias, con mutuo respeto, confianza y estimación social, fortaleciendo la autonomía, libertad social y dignidad humana como resultado de esa rehabilitación.

RESUMO Objetivo: Construir, a partir dos conceitos e afirmações, um modelo teórico para enfermagem de reabilitação com base no reconhecimento intersubjetivo, focado no bem-viver da pessoa em sua diversidade. Método: Trata-se de um estudo metodológico calcado na fundamentação de Construção de Teoria descrito por Walker e Avant para a síntese um modelo teórico de enfermagem. A síntese busca organizar um arranjo de conceitos e afirmações que possibilitam visualizar a relação de reabilitação entre as pessoas do modelo. Resultados: O modelo teórico foi centrado na relação interpessoal entre Pessoa e enfermeiro, tal relação gera os relacionamentos de Reabilitação e Reconhecimento que atuam positivamente em ambos e possibilita a autorrealização, a participação autônoma e igualitária da pessoa em reabilitação, garantindo seu bem-viver social.
